FOREWORD

"People-places-and-things." A well known tele-
vision newscaster uses this phrase to introduce
special events on his nightly telecast. You are
invited to share in our version of people-places-
and-things. The people are you and your class-
mates; the places are located on and near your
campus and the things are the events that took
place while you were here. All yearbooks are
memory books. Your memories have been pre-
served between the covers of this edition of
STOSAG. Our goal has been to produce a
distinctive yearbook for you. We hope you
enjoy it.

Stockbridge School of Agriculture

University of Massachusetts
Amherst, Massachusetts

Adrian Herve Lindsey was born on a farm
in Bryan, Ohio and became a New Englander
in 1929 when he accepted a professorship in
Agricultural Economics at Massachusetts Agri-
cultural College, now the University of Massa-
chusetts. He received his training at the Uni-
versity of Illinois and Iowa State College, earn-
ing his doctorate at the latter institution.

Since 1935, Dr. Lindsey has served as Head
of the Department of Agricultural Economics
and Farm Management. After thirty years of
teaching hundreds of Stockbridge students the
fundamentals of economics, accounting, business
management and law, Dr. Lindsey will retire
on September 1, 1959. We wish him many
years of happiness and proudly dedicate the
1959 STOSAG to an outstanding educator and
friend.

Dedication

Adrian H. Lindsey

Tribute

When the new land grant college of Massa-
chusetts prepared to open its doors in 1867, a
young farmer from nearby Hadley was sum-
moned to teach the first course in agriculture.
LEVI STOCKBRIDGE was chosen because he
firmly believed that practical farming needed
to be supplemented by scientific knowledge.
The young men who were enrolled during the
tenure of Profesor Stockbridge were privileged
to receive the counsel and guidance of one of the
world's best agricultural educators. Levi Stock-
bridge had faith in his teaching, in the future of
his college and in the future of his state. We
are the present beneficiaries of that faith as
graduates of the Stockbridge School in this year
of 1959.

Levi Stockbridge

Willard W. Gay

WILLARD W. GAY graduated from Massa-
chusetts Agricultural College in 1891. He is
one of the few surviving graduates of this inti-
tution who has had the privilege of being
taught by Levi Stockbridge. Mr. Gay recalls
that in 1887 Professor Stockbridge returned to
the Gollege to teach the freshman course in
agriculture.

The sound principles taught by Stockbridge
left their mark on Willard Gay who later be-
came an outstanding landscape architect. Many
parks and housing developments along the east-
ern seaboard from Massachusetts to the Bahama
Islands have been constructed from plans sub-
mitted by Willard Gay. His accomplishments
are a tribute to the faith that Levi Stockbridge
had in those who were to follow him.

Memoriam

Ralph A. Van Meter - 1894 - 1958 - A Former President

Ralph A. Van Meter came to Massachusetts
Agricultural College in 1917 following gradu-
ation from Ohio State University. For thirty-
seven years he served the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts as Extension Horticulturist, Pro-
fessor of Pomology, Head of the Department of
Pomology, Acting President and President of the
University of Massachusetts until his retirement

in 1954 for reasons of health. In addition to
heavy University administrative duties he served
as Chairman of the Town Finance Committee
and was active in many public and community
projects. Memories of him will always remain
on the hill of our campus as we pass the beau-
tiful dormitory bearing his name.

Head of Dep't of Horticulture

ADMINISTRATION

University President

University Provost

J. Paul Mather

For a complex modern society, poised on
the edge of the space age, specialized education
beyond high school has become not a luxury,
but a necessity. Even those with whom we
disagree ideologically as a nation agree that
the scientific and efficient production of food
and fiber will always be one of the primary
problems of any advancing society. Agriculture
is a very vital part of the program of a nation
characterized technically by atoms, automation,
and alloys. The Stockbridge School represents
today, as it has throughout its history, a vital
contribution to the educational and training
needs of our complex and evolving society.
May each of you as you go on to greater ac-
complishment appreciate the benefits of your
efforts on the campus at the University of
Massachusetts.

J. Paul Mather

Shannon McCune

Greetings to the members of the Class of
1959 of the Stockbridge School. This book with
its pictures and its accounts of your life here will
bring back to you through the years many happy
memories. The Stockbridge plan of education
which combines practical experience in the field
with theory and skill courses taken on the
campus has equipped you well for a useful and
effective life in the future years. By going to
such a school on the University campus you
have been able to participate in and have con-
tributed color and enthusiasm to the total life
of our University community. May you have
the best of luck and think often of your Alma
Mater.

Shannon McCune
Provost

The Stockbridge School of Agriculture is
known nationally for its excellence as a technical
vocational school of agriculture and related sub-
jects. Each graduate will have the competence
in his chosen field to begin his career if he has
taken full advantage of his opportunities while
here.

Your education has just begun when you
have graduated from Stockbridge. By availing
yourself of other offerings of this University
you may continue to become more efficient and
productive in your chosen profession.
Dale H. Sieling
Dean of the College of Agriculture

Dale H. Sieling

It is a pleasure to extend best wishes to
each member of the Class of 1959. I trust
that you may have learned that education is a
never-ending process. At the very least, you
should keep learning new things until you are
90 — and hopefully until you reach the age
of 100. In many ways, self education is more
satisfying than the formal classroom type of
instruction. If attending the Stockbridge School
of Agriculture has succeeded in rnaking you
more inquisitive than when you arrived as a
freshman, then I am sure that your two years
here have been thoroughly worth while.

Memoriam

Charles Gamble — A Former Student

Charles Gamble, a Forestry major in the
class of 1958 passed away one month after his
graduation. Those who knew him remember
Charles as a mature individual with a friendly
cooperative attitude toward his fellow students

and instructors. Friends of Stockbridge were
shocked at the sudden death of this fine young
man who was ready to take his place in the
world. Our sincere sympathy is extended to
his family and friends.

Stosag was estabHshed in 1937 in order to
recognize the members of the senior class who
had maintained high scholastic averages during
their two years at Stockbridge. Election to the
society requires that the student have an average
grade of 3.4 quality points or higher. The
students whose names appear on this year's
honor roll are placed in the order of rank.

Alpha Tau
Gamma

By acquiring a housemother for the frater-
nity, Alpha Tau Gamma took a giant stride
forward during the past year. Major physical
improvements were completed which provided
adequate facilities for the housemother. In
addition, the entire first floor was remodeled.
These improvements were made possible by a
cooperative work plan involving all members
and pledges. Funds were raised through car
washes and a "Slave for a Day" drive which was
the first of its kind on the campus. These two
projects earned $400 for the house. An open
house and tea to welcome our housemother was
the first social function of the year. Winter
Carnival was a disappointment because of the
lack of snow, but we still maintained our sec-
ondary honors from the preceding year. There
were many social gatherings at A.T.G. during
the year including a Roman Toga, a Twin and
a Kitty party. However, the Pledge party was
considered the best of all. Following the Pledge
party, the annual house formal was held where
twenty new members received their membership
certificates. The banquet was held in the
exclusive Wiggins Tavern in Northampton.
Following this banquet, many of the new mem-
bers left for their placement training period.
They will return in the fall to resume their
fraternity life and carry on the fine traditions
of Alpha Tau Gamma.

SPECIAL EVENTS

Horticulture Show

A "European Square" surrounded by gar-
dens, shops, and a sidewalk cafe was the theme
of this year's 46th annual Horticultural Show.
The student and commercial exhibits were
admired by over 20,000 spectators as they
walked along the paths that led through the
square. Oak and birch trees shaded paths
edged with green grass and benches. Colorful
flower carts contributed to the foreignness of the
scene. Yew hedges surrounding the grass plots
gave an appearance of early English countryside.

A pink castle stood in the background of
the center of the square, surrounded by a floral
garden. This was an exhibit of Smith College.
The Holyoke-Northampton Florists and Garden-
ers Club exhibited floral designs and cut flowers.
Encircling the square were student exhibits and
a gayly decorated flower shop where students
made and sold corsages, dried floral arrange-

ments and many other items for souvenirs. An
authentic sidewalk cafe provided coffee, cider,
doughnuts and sandwiches for hungry specta-
tors. In addition to the floral exhibits, visitors
touring the square were treated to special
attractions provided by other departments.
Agronomy and Turf Maintenance combined to
present an interesting exhibit illustrating the old
method of cigar making.

No market square would be complete with-
out a well stocked fruit and vegetable stand.
This exhibit added a blaze of autumn colors
to the scene.

Thousands of favorable comments by the
visitors leaving the 46th annual Horticultural
Show indicated that this presentation was one
of the best.

Food
Seminar

On January 21, 22, 23, 1959, the sixth annual
Food Seminar was held at the University. This
three day event is sponsored by the Mass. Food
Service Educational Council in cooperation with
the University Food Management Course and
the Universities' Stewards Club.

The theme this year was "Your Key to
Successful Management." During the program
four long sessions were held in the Student
Union Ballroom where many speakers presented
valuable information and knowledge about the
food industry.

Throughout the seminar, the Universities'
Stewards Club was very active preparing and
serving a buffet, banquet, and cocktail party,
in addition to having charge of housing and
playing host to the guests. The club members
also participated in a panel discussion during
the first session.

Sno-Ball
Dance

Again this year, Stockbridge played its
annual part in the Winter Carnival Weekend by
sponsoring the Sno-Ball Dance. Crystal Car-
ousel, was the theme for Carnival Weekend and
although snow was scarce, carnival spirit re-
mained high. Decorations in the small ballroom
of the Student Union consisted of silver horses
and pink trimmings. Cus Perfito's band played
fo.x trots, waltzes and other popular requests
throughout the evening. The ballroom was
filled with many couples enjoying the melodious
atmosphere.

Winter
Carnival

Winter Carnival week-end arrived without
snow for the first time in years. Consequently,
the students and thousands of people were dis-
appointed because the colorful snow sculptures
were missing. However, skating demonstrations
by the Providence Skating Club, fireworks, and
the Crystal Carousel Ball kept the carnival
enthusiasts happy. The sculptures appearing
on these pages are a few of the excellent
productions from last year's carnival. Everyone
looks forward to 1960 with the hope that
the weatherman will cooperate and provide
enough snow for a real "old fashioned" carnival
week-end.

Little
International

After four weeks of intensive fitting and
practicing for the big show, the Stockbridge
Animal Husbandry seniors and University Ani-
mal Husbandry students, presented the 19th
Annual Little International Livestock Show on
March 14, 1959. This show is modeled after
the International Livestock Show in Chicago,
but here the students are judged on their ability
to prepare, fit, and show the animal they have
chosen. The two top winners in each class of
Sheep, Swine, Beef Cattle, and Horses then
became eligible to compete for the Premier
Showmanship Award. The coveted award this
year was won by Andre Duprey, a Stockbridge
Animal Husbandry senior. The Reserve Premier
Showmanship was won by Ted Pikul, and
Phil Brouillette was awarded Honorable Men-
tion. Both are Animal Husbandry Seniors in
Stockbridge.

The judges were Professors L. V. Tirrell,
and G. L. Smith of the University of New
Hampshire's Animal Husbandry department.

In addition to the hilarious "Coed Milking
Contest," a new special event was added this
year. Although no award was given for the
"Buckin Barrel" contest, the participants each
felt a measure of self-satisfaction if they were
able to stay on for even a few seconds.

The show serves a dual purpose in that it
promotes a spirit of competition and sportsman-
ship while giving the participants a chance to
get the feeling of the show ring and gain
practical knowledge.

Progress
Banquet

At the annual Stockbridge Progress Ban-
quet, the school's top athletes and scholars were
honored by 200 people at a delicious roast
beef dinner, that preceded the presentation of
awards.

It may well have been tagged "Swap Gifts"
night as the coaches presented their most
valuable player awards and the recipients in
turn gave the coaches gifts from their respective
teams. Walter Lewis won the Most Valuable
Player Award in basketball, while Paul Amaral
walked away with honors in the football
department.

Dean Jeffrey presented the outstanding
freshmen and senior students who had earned a
3.4 quality point average or higher. These
students earned a well deserved round of ap-
plause for their achievements.

Danny Santos, Ted Pikul, Jim Hanchett and
Ev Jones were the only returning lettermen to
greet Coach Steve Kosakowski at the first prac-
tice session last fall. Thus, Coach Steve found
himself in a familiar role with a complete
rebuilding job ahead. Besides the returning
lettermen, the team was sparked by seniors Bob
Lavin, Joe Coyne, Paul Amaral, Andy Duprey
and Charlie Peckham. Although no wins were

recorded in five games, the spirit of this team
never died, and each game was a hard fought
contest up to the final minute of play. The
outlook for 1959-60 looks promising with the
return of hard running backs like Bill Bieren
and Kenny Hague, and with the hustling line
of Paul Lepkowski, George Cushing, Bob Allen
and "Apple" Adriance.

Under new Coach Paul Kollios, the Aggies
posted an unfruitful 2-9 record. With only four
returning lettermen, Coach Kollios had his work
cut out for him. Inexperience was the principal
reason for the season's record. The team ab-
sorbed seven straight losses before the win
column was dented. Monson Academy became
the first victim of the victory-starved Aggies.
A second win over Holyoke Junior College was
sweet revenge because this club had beaten the
Aggies only by a slim two point margin in the
first meeting. Senior Walt Lewis captured
scoring honors with a fine 12 point per game
average. Another senior, Marshall Cotta, was
the big man off the boards. Other consistent
performers throughout the season were Boh
Costantino, Ed Delmolino, George Cushing and
reserve Jim Mills. With four veteran performers
returning next year, we are looking forward to
an improved record in the 1959-60 season.

How many ilmes do I have to tell you?

Lucky for us that Cotta has four arms.

Compliment

For the second year the yearbook staff was fortunate in having
Mr. James W. Callahan as its adviser.

We who have worked on this yearbook, know that we owe much
of the success of the book to Mr. Callahan, for it was through his never
ceasing efforts, time, and advice that we will be able to look back on
the Stockbridge School with pleasant memories.

So it is that we, the students of the Stockbridge School, join
together to thank you, Mr. Callahan, for all of your time and effort.

Pop
Barrett

When "Pop" Barrett left the University in
1956, a friend asked about his plans for retire-
ment. "Pop" quickly replied, "I am not retiring;
I'm only changing jobs." The remark was taken
lightly at the time but "Pop" quietly developed
his photography hobby into a thriving business.
Graduates of 1959 will remember him as "the
friendly man behind the camera."

This issue of STOSAG records the forty-first
year of the two year course at the University of
Massachusetts. We express our thanks to the
following people for their contributions to the
success of this issue:

To all Stockbridge students for their co-
operation,

To Professor James Callahan, Stosag adviser,

for his advice and assistance,

To President Mather, Provost McCune, Dean

Sieling and Director Jeffrey for their inspiring

messages.

To Koldy Studios for our e.xcellent portraits.

To "Pop" Barrett for our group pictures and

sports coverage,

To the people in the Short Course olBce for

all they have done for us.

And to all those who have helped in any way

to make this yearbook a success.
